Work tools
I love my tech - always have. I make sure that my work environment has all the tools I need to do my work, and that bring me joy!

MacBook

For 20 years now I have been a Mac fan. Over the years I have switched between laptops and desktops - I think I'll stick with the former now.

LG 5K monitor

No use having a great laptop if your monitor is crap so I splurged on the LG 5K monitor that works beautifully with the MacBook.

Speakers

Spending so much time at my desk working and listening to music I need some good speakers, so I got myself a set of A2+'s from Audio Engine and sub to go with them.

Sit / stand desk

Sitting for hours on end can be tough. During COVID I got myself a Desky sit / stand desk and make sure I use to work standing at least once a day. It's great to stand during meetings.

  3. Coffee machine
